Looking for a Venus base

[Ilanthar]

This one was a harder one!
This is my Elzevir Political Map of Venus then. Venus has a moon in my Elzevir's world, which is called Neith and is inhabited. I'll do it a bit later...

Hope u enjoy it.

if you still need a topographic map i recently ( in February ) completed a massive 12 gig ( 131072 x 65536 Px. ) RGB image of the SAR radar
and a 4 gig 16 bit topo Height map( 65536x 32768 Px.) reworking the SAR data to get the height data from it
if people want i can resize it down
some links to images OF it
the C-1 compressed Magellan SAR DATA ( destripped )

Hey johnvanvliet,

Thanks so much for your work on building the SAR radar and topo maps. I realize this thread hasn't been visited in quite a few years but I was just curious to see if you still had those maps in their largest resolution available? The reason why I ask is I'm working on an animation involving a spacecraft being sent through the Venetian atmosphere and touching down in the Alpha Regio area and could definitely use maps of decent resolution for creating the landscape. While the topo map is most appealing to me, I am definitely interested in both if it's possible to have them hosted somewhere. I believe I saw at least the topo one parceled out on the Celestia Motherlode but as much as I use maps in my own animations, I don't have a ton of experience stringing together or compiling the tiles that are being hosted on the site. I often just work with the large cylindrical maps within our 3D programs.

If you could, lemme know if you do happen to have those large Venus maps available. Thanks!
